Observed a very large cerac avalanche off of aberdeen yesterday (15th).  
Covered a large part of the normal glacier route.  Suspect it ran all the way 
down the toe of the glacier.  

Of note as well a large (hotel +) size piece of the hanging glacier on the east 
side of Leroy fell off pilling up under the mitre.  All this has happened in 
the last 24 hour. 

A big heads up out there right now with ice and rock fall.
